When first released to Muggles in March 2001, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages further enlightened Harry Potter fans about the dangers and delights of the wizarding world. Now these two charming works of non-fiction are available in hardcover -- in a special keepsake slipcase edition!
Now, the classic books from the library of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages--are available in hardcover in a sturdy boxed gift set. (These books are written by J.K. Rowling herself under the pseudonyms Newt Scamander and Kennilworthy Whisp.) Finally, Muggles will have the chance to discover where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats, and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl. The Quidditch textbook explains where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence, and why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their clothes. Both books, designed to look like Harry Potter's actual, used Hogwarts textbooks, feature silly scribblings from Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Proceeds from the sale of this gift set will go to improving and saving the lives of children around the world. Harry Potter fans, rejoice! (All ages)

Two Books in One:
"Quiddich Through THe Ages" and "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" arne't bad books. They give you information that can help you understand the Harry Potter books better. "Quiddich Through The Ages" does help you understand what would be an illeagal move was and simmilar stuff like that. "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" helped me understand the diffrent meanings and purposes of some of these magical animals. If you need help understandidng some thing that's Quiddich or animal realated try... more info
I would read anything HP, from JK:
These were no let down, and filled in some of the behinds the scenes in the book fun, and helped fill in some gaps of informaiton from the series. And nice that the profits go for a good cause.
Magically delicious:
These little books got me through the gap when I was desperate for the next book to come out. I have since picked them up every once in awhile to read to my kids because they're so funny.
Very Interesting!:
I wasn't sure about these books, but they are very interesting and informative! Also, in the Fantastic Beasts, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all write in notations and different commentaries as you read. It is like you are actually reading their library book! If your kids love Harry Potter, I reccomend you get these books for them!!
